You will need to be aware that the data is stored in that struct in ucs-2 format, which means that you will need a custom font that has approx 768 characters in it to show the full character codes that a normal DS allows you to input (you will need the Latin, Katakana and hirakana Unicode characters, as well as some special characters in the personal address range).

My advice would be to have a conversion list for the characters from UCS-2 space to your own font space, as a true unicode aware font system is a little ott on the DS..
